Passwords app stopped working with latest update?
I updated my Macbook Pro this week, macOS Sequoia 15.3.2 and now the Password app isn't working. When I log into my regularly saved sites, and I click user name, the Password app login modal pops up, but when I click it, NOTHING happens. If I manually type in my user name (which was unnecessary prior to the recent update), then SOMETIMES I get the fingerprint, but most times I don't. I am using the Chrome browser. I have attached a screenshot of the typical issue I experience.

After connecting to a Passpoint network on macOS, the SSID field is displayed as empty.
After connecting to a Passpoint network on macOS, the SSID field is displayed as empty. Bugs ? Passpoint connections are established and function correctly, with network communication unimpeded. However, a display issue where the SSID field is blank is present on macOS versions 13 through 15 inclusive. This issue persists even when utilizing connection profiles created with Apple Configurator. Help me. Thks

"Create Your Apple Account" Not Working
I just got a new 2024 Macbook Pro today. I finished setting it up, and I'm trying to reinstall a few apps. It told me that since I haven't used my Apple ID yet, I need to complete my Apple account. I've entered all my address information, but every time I hit continue, the boxes turn red, telling me I need to enter my information as if I never entered it in the first place. How can I fix this? I need to set this computer up before classes tomorrow.

Clarification on Using Stripe for a Facilitation Platform and Compliance with App Store Guidelines
Hi everyone, We are developing an app, Video Tradie, which operates as a marketplace platform connecting customers with independent tradespeople for consultations. The app facilitates scheduling, communication, and payments but does not directly provide any services—our role is strictly as a facilitator. For payment processing, we are currently integrating Stripe to handle invoicing, payment splits to tradespeople, and detailed reporting features that are essential to our business model. However, we want to ensure compliance with Apple’s App Store guidelines, particularly regarding: Digital Services vs. Physical Services: Since the app facilitates consultations (virtual services), would it fall under Apple’s in-app purchase requirements, or could it qualify for exemptions, similar to apps facilitating physical services? Stripe Integration: If we continue using Stripe for payments, are we allowed to remit Apple’s 15% commission (under the Small Business Programme) while not using Apple’s payment infrastructure? Marketplace Positioning: Does positioning our app as a marketplace rather than a direct service provider exempt us from using Apple’s in-app payment system? Alternative Billing Options: If operating in regions like the EU or South Korea, where alternative billing is permitted, are there specific steps we need to follow to comply? We are seeking clarification to ensure we develop the app in a way that aligns with Apple’s expectations. If anyone has experience with similar setups or advice on communicating with Apple during the submission process, I’d greatly appreciate your input! Thank you!

DetectBarcodesRequest operates differently among machines
Hi Apple Developers! I’m using the DetectBarcodesRequest function to identify QR codes in some images and PDFs. However, I’m facing an issue where the function doesn’t detect the barcode on certain documents and machines, while it works on others using the same document. The only common factor I’ve noticed is that the machines that successfully identify the QR code of the “problematic” document are all heavy developer machines that have Xcode installed. Interestingly, this doesn’t seem to be related to processor type (Intel vs. Apple Silicon). Could you please provide some guidance or leads on how to resolve this issue?

Messages app (iOS) - unintentional trigger of voice memo
There appears to be a bug or a hidden feature where after sending a message in Messages and you hover over or touch near the back button in the top left, voice memo activates and starts recording. This is an unexpected behavior and it has been an issue going back several iOS releases to the current release. This has happened on various phone models, so it isn't limited to a specific model. In addition, (and yes, this does add a second bug/issue) there is a hidden feature where touching in the top left of a message thread, above the back button, causes the focus of the message thread to jump back to some texts/messages from an earlier time. This is unexpected and seems like it should be addressed.

Carplay - Low Fuel Suggestions
Dear Developers, I am wondering if there is a way to build on the current "Low Fuel" notification. Currently, if my low fuel light activates while Carplay is on, a low fuel notification is also sent to my phone. If the car can communicate this, can it also communicate mileage range? This way, if I'm in the middle of a route and the low fuel light engages, Carplay could suggest the nearest gas stations on the route within the remaining mileage range. Any information would be very helpful!

iPad Pro M4. Panic. Freezing and Restarting Daily Without Heavy Usage
I purchased an iPad Pro M4 in early December, and since day one, I’ve been experiencing a recurring issue. Almost every day, at random times, the device freezes for 1–5 minutes and then restarts itself. The tablet is not under heavy load when this happens — I mainly use it for light tasks such as watching videos in a player or Safari browser, web surfing, and reading books. The issue has even occurred while the iPad was idle and locked; it froze, displayed the Apple logo, and rebooted. I brought the device back to the store where I purchased it, and they sent it for a diagnostic check. However, the experts concluded that the device is fully functional, and no defects were found. After one of these crashes, I noticed that my Apple Pencil started lagging (see video file IMG_5688.MOV). However, after another reboot, the issue with the Apple Pencil resolved itself. I’ve documented the issue with several video recordings showing the freezing and rebooting behavior, as well as error logs generated after such incidents. Device Details: Model: iPad Pro M4 Usage: Light tasks only (video streaming, web browsing, reading) Environment: No overheating, no resource-heavy applications running What could be causing this issue, and how can I resolve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! P.S. I’ve uploaded all the device logs and videos demonstrating the issue to Google Drive. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_R0i_iazADWo5EgStrPdgmf1XjgPP_RC?usp=sharing

No Apps appearing on home screen or in the App Library after download
Hello, i just noticed that when i download an app through the App Store on my iPhone, the app i downloaded does not appear on my home screen or in the App Library. is there any work around for me to make them appear at least in the App Library? the only way to open or to place an app on my home screen I downloaded after upgrading to iOS 18.4 Beta 3 is to search for it in Spotlight or in the App Store. Any apps I downloaded before upgrading to iOS 18.4 Beta 3 is still on my home screen or in the App Library. i am currently running iOS 18.4 Beta 3 on an iPhone 16 Pro

Turning on setVoiceProcessingEnabled bumps channel count to 5
Hi all, The use of setVoiceProcessingEnabled increases the channel count of my microphone audio from 1 to 5. This has downstream effects, because when I use AVAudioConverter to convert between PCM buffer types the output buffer contains only silence. Here is a reproduction showing the channel growth from 1 to 5: let avAudioEngine: AVAudioEngine = AVAudioEngine() let inputNode = avAudioEngine.inputNode print(inputNode.inputFormat(forBus: 0)) // Prints <AVAudioFormat 0x600002f7ada0: 1 ch, 48000 Hz, Float32> do { try inputNode.setVoiceProcessingEnabled(true) } catch { print("Could not enable voice processing \(error)") return } print(inputNode.inputFormat(forBus: 0)) // Prints <AVAudioFormat 0x600002f7b020: 5 ch, 44100 Hz, Float32, deinterleaved> If it helps, the reason I'm using setVoiceProcessingEnabled because I don't want the mic to pick up output from the speakers. Per wwdc When enabled, extra signal processing is applied on the incoming audio, and any audio that is coming from the device is taken Here is my conversion logic from the input PCM format (which in the case above is 5ch, 44.1kHZ, Float 32, deinterleaved) to the target format PCM16 with a single channel: let outputFormat = AVAudioFormat( commonFormat: .pcmFormatInt16, sampleRate: inputPCMFormat.sampleRate, channels: 1, interleaved: false ) guard let converter = AVAudioConverter( from: inputPCMFormat, to: outputFormat) else { fatalError("Demonstration") } let newLength = AVAudioFrameCount(outputFormat.sampleRate * 2.0) guard let outputBuffer = AVAudioPCMBuffer( pcmFormat: outputFormat, frameCapacity: newLength) else { fatalError("Demonstration") } outputBuffer.frameLength = newLength try! converter.convert(to: outputBuffer, from: inputBuffer) // Use the PCM16 outputBuffer The outputBuffer contains only silence. But if I comment out inputNode.setVoiceProcessingEnabled(true) in the first snippet, the outputBuffer then plays exactly how I would expect it to. So I have two questions: Why does setVoiceProcessingEnabled increase the channel count to 5? How should I convert the resulting format to a single channel PCM16 format? Thank you, Lou

Issue Wifi Calling - with 5G and LTE - iOS Beta 18.4. 3rd beta and before
when I receive calls on my mobile number and I am connected to a Wifi, the calls is cancelled after the second ring and the caller receives a busy signal. That means I cannot receive calls anymore. This problems happens with different mobile providers and does not occur on my Samsung Galaxy Phone with the same number (eSim). Even when I disable WIFI Calling the problem persists, when I am connected to a WIFI. Only when I disable the WIFI Connect and I am only connected to the mobile carrier, the calls go throuhg in a normal way. VERY annoying and hast not been fixed with Beta 3 of iOS 18.4. Any clue how this can be solved with settings? Hope Apple fixes this very soon!

Mac App Store Unable to Install or Purchase Any New Applications
Since macOS 15.4 Beta 2, my App Store has been unable to install or download any new applications; it can only download applications I have previously purchased. It appears as follows: when I click 'Get,' the system spins to load and then returns to the initial state. Upon checking system error reports, it seems there's an issue with AMSUIPaymentViewService_macOS [2113]. This problem persists despite changing credit cards or even removing all credit cards. macOS 15.4 Beta 3 has not fixed this error.
